Young Mister - Young Mister (2016) *****
Nominated by: Gee Kay
Music club: Wander to Wozza's
Playlist addition: Anybody Out There
After about the sixth run through, I knew this was a five star classic because I realised I had changed my playlist choice every time I listened to the album.
Yes, every song is an instant keeper. I have only positive comments for Young Mister! What a great find.
Like a lot of other power pop bands, Young Mister has echoes of other power pop bands (Cheap Trick, Badfinger, Raspberries etc) but the distinctive vocals by Steven Fiore add a point of difference.
Are there any points against?
How about it fitting on one side of a Dindy C60?
Nope - its brevity as an album is an asset - leaves me wanting more.
The lyrics? I don't even care that the lyrics aren't great at times. It's a bit like Nil Fun's attitude to lyrics - as long as it sounds right - go for it.
Any weak songs?
Nope - I'll admit that it took 3 or 4 listens to really grab me lock stock and two smoking barrels, but in the end, the songs I didn't warm to initially quickly became favourites. Smiley faces all round!
Your best selection since your last best selection Gee Kay! Nice one Stu!
